Lodge Crsgr18 Carbon Steel Griddle, Pre-Seasoned, 18-Inch, Black

Received the products today and they are chipped in many places. The quality is terrible. I have bought lodge products before and they are always great, but this is very disappointing.

This pan fits our 6-top gas range perfectly and is much easier to work with than the heavier cast iron griddles I've owned in the past. The pan holds heat well enough to make proper smash burgers and it's non-stick enough that cooking eggs or fish works without issue, with a bit of care.The handles are a great addition for moving the pan out of the way for washing or cooling off. The pan cleans up easily given the tall lip and handles. I generally add water and bring it to a boil to lightly scrape off the stuck bits. With a light wipe in the sink when it cools down to remove any extra bits, I let it dry off and give it a light coating of oil with a clean cloth. If you find it loses its coating, you can add it back with the same basic process as a cast iron pan, though I haven't had to do that yet (I avoid acidic foods, and clean it carefully).This pan would also be great for camping (though this one is not leaving my kitchen any time soon).

Heats up fast and retains the heat for a long time

Its my fault anyway, i didn't know it was small

Nice build and welds, nice finish, sits entirely and directly on the glass surface of my induction cooktop for optimal performance, unlike reversible plates that use a small rim to retain liquids on both sides, thus creating a gap with the cooktop.Meats sizzles as it should and I can make 6 small pancakes at a time so I'm a happy camper!
